The AFL-CIO will be making a series of 60 to 90 second videos in which a diverse group of people explain in their own words why they are so concerned about the TPP. We want people to talk about everything from jobs and wages, to climate change and food safety, to caring for your family, running a small business, and preserving local democratic control. If you are interested in being featured in one of these videos, please send the following information to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Put “TPP personal video” in the subject line.

A short description of your TPP concerns and the type of work you have done to stop the TPP

And, because we are trying to make the series as a whole diverse and representative of the broad threats of TPP across our country and economy, please include to the extent you are comfortable, demographic information, including age, gender, racial or ethnic background, and where you live in the country.

Special guest Robert Kuttner, co-founder of The American Prospect and The Economic Policy Institute

We'll also get an analysis from Shane Larson, Legislative Director, Communications Workers of America, of the JUST LEAKED TPP INVESTMENT CHAPTER TEXT, and hear from Beth Allen, CWA, and Kathryn Johnson, Public Citizen, about plans for upcoming Congressional recess actions and more, all across the country!

It is part of a global race to the bottom to boost the profits of large corporations and Wall Street by outsourcing jobs; undercutting worker rights;dismantling labor, environmental, health, food safety and financial laws; and allowing corporations to challengeour laws in international tribunals rather than our own court system.If TPP was such a good deal for America,the administration should have the courage to show the American people exactly what is in this deal, instead of keeping the content of the TPP secret.
